Neugart, WPLN planetary gearbox
The WPLN planetary gearbox series from Neugart, manufacturer of low-backlash planetary gearboxes, has three main features: quiet operation, high output torque and optimal installation space requirements.
The most important change from the old model series is the angle. In the WPLS model series, spiral bevel gears with a 1:1 ratio were used, which have now been replaced by a bevel stage with hypopalloid gears. This makes it possible to realise ratios up to 10:1 without a planetary stage.
Thanks to this design modification, it’s possible to reduce the operating noise dramatically. Furthemore, the output torque is increased significantly in comparison to solutions that currently exist on the market. Removing the planetary stage also allows to shorten a lot the axial length of the gearbox, improving the ease of assembly.
The output shaft can be supplied as a smooth model with fitting key, as a toothed shaft connection according to DIN 5480, or as a special shaft, custom-designed according to customer specifications. As output flange geometry, the flange of the PLS series as well as the flange with long centring component are available.
To provide the user the best possible support in selecting a gearbox, the new WPLN series is integrated into the Neugart Calculation Programme (NCP).
